Second language
A person'slanguage, or L2, is a language that is not a native language first language or L1 of the speaker, but is learned later commonly as a foreign language, but it can be another Linguistic communication used in the speaker's domestic country. A speaker's dominant language, which is the language a speaker uses near or is almost comfortable with, is not necessarily the speaker's first language. Thelanguage can also be the dominant one. For example, the Canadian census defines first language for its purposes as "the first language learned in childhood in addition to still spoken", recognizing that for some, the earliest language may be lost, a process so-called as language attrition. This can happen when young children cover to a new language environment.
